Why do Raccoon City Police officers have different uniforms even when on the same mission?

Like what we see in the Spencer Mansion both in all the versions, all the STARS team members are in different uniforms. How is that explained? Edit. Here's a pic to better show what I mean:

I believe it was a design choice, to make the characters feel unique rather than just make them look like some rando/anonymous S.W.A.T. team.

That's what Hunk and co. did, and did you care about any of them? I sure as Hell didn't.

Style points.

Hunk & Co. as in those commandos operated by Umbrella? I've never played those characters. Not yet.

I love HUNK. He was my favorite character to play in Mercs 3D and I liked The 4th Survivor. To each their own.

Maybe it's a role plying uniform? Like Brad Vickers is probably wearing the uniform of the pilot and Rebecca chambers is probably wearing the role of a medic?

To be honest, everyone is essentially wearing the same thing: a S.T.A.R.S. T-shirt and a vest. They're different colors, yes, but it's the same type uniform. The only one that breaks this mold is Jill with the shoulder pads instead of a vest. (And Forest isn't wearing a T-shirt but this could be chalked up to personal preference.)

You are taking what I said out of context. Hunk is an established character and I also love playing as him in 4th survivor, I have a quote of his in my sig after all.

What I meant was, his entire team is wearing identical uniforms, color, gas mask and all, so it's a bit harder to care for a cast of characters that all look identical, imagine if all of S.T.A.R.S. team was wearing full body suits, it would further dilute them as characters, wouldn't you think?

I wasn't directly responding to your post as I didn't quote you. I was pitching into a HUNK conversation. Chillax.

By the way, have you seen my name and sig? The commandos in the 2002 RE all wore the same thing and Rain in my favorite character in the franchise. It doesn't matter what they're wearing as long as the character development is there.

Their shirts are also different colors like Rebecca's and Richard too. But they have the same S.T.A.R.S insignia on it. Plus Rebecca is not a combat S.T.A.R.S participant as she is just a medic.

So i'm guessing each uniform is for sub-roles. I'm guessing Jill has a constable uniform as it's very similar to Leon's.

Still confused as to what a different colored shirts and vests indicate regarding "sub-roles." Especially since no one's combination is the same, yet there's people who carry out mirroring roles on their respective teams.
